The Festival in enriched by various workshops, exhibitions, round-tables, street concerts... The main point of our festival is to bring together musicians from different countries, thus displaying a wide range of musical approaches and traditions. We prefer modern, creative music, the collision of cultures and music practices, confrontation of various approaches where jazz is often intertwined with other genres: rock, electronic music, modern and old classical music, experimental music, various traditions (ethnical) forms of music and much more.
